Poor old thing still pulls ok though. Not entirely sure what’s going on with it. Blower might be getting weak. It started its life as PC 9226. Hi Matty!
Not at all! The only other times times I've seen an SW1001 were #1002's sister on the Rochester & Southern, and a small fleet of them on the Cleveland Works Railway.
@@mattygunn693: Reading was the only original class one buyer. The Reading units (eventually becoming Conrail property on 4-1-76) were then split between CSX and NS in the 1999 Conrail split, then CSX and NS disposed of them for good. The rest were all sold to industrial, shortline and export buyers/users.
Good stuff. A wave from the operator and the trains don't scare the deer.
Epic
I have noticed with many recent clips a large amount of Propane tank traffic, far more than a few years ago.
I think someone swapped 1509's EMD prime mover for a Alco 251. 😉
Right?! That thing was smoking just as much as one lol 😆

G&W #1002, an EMD SW1001, not a very common locomotive.
